FX CREW SCRAMBLES ON RINGS

Teams of graphic and digital artists are working furiously to add
high-tech
creatures and special effects to Peter Jackson's upcoming Lord of the
Rings
trilogy of movies, E! Online reported. The special-effects house WETA
Digital is cranking into overdrive--a task complicated by the sudden
departure recently of WETA Digital's head, Mark Stetson, the site
reported.
The production is scrambling to maintain schedules, and sources told E!
Online that the search has begun for Stetson's replacement.

Several directors of photography are working in the miniatures
department on
tiny replicas of the film sets. Coming up is the filming of the flooding
of
Isengard in an enormous custom-made studio set. Jackson, meanwhile, is
back
inside a helicopter, overseeing aerial photography in the mountainous
South
Island of New Zealand; the Rings crew filmed in a national park in
Queenstown last year, the site reported.

In the meantime, New Line will launch the publicity campaign for the
first
Rings movie, The Fellowship of the Ring, at the Cannes Film Festival in
May,
E! reported.

I know I gripe about these things, but could someone resend some LOTR website stuff? I want to send them to a friend in Russia. Lizzie
